Creating Support Materials to Facilitate
Learner Success
In this activity, you create a resource to support your learners’ self-directed learning
during project work. This might be a document, template, or form. The support materials can specify choices that learners must make about content, processes, and products. Learners use these materials to make decisions that will enhance their skills and make good use of their talents and interests. Effective support materials also provide varying degrees of structure and content to help address the learners’ special needs.

Templates and forms are useful methods of saving and formatting files so that they can be used easily by others.

In this step, you review examples of forms, templates, and documents that learners can use to support their learning during a project. Although you create one type of support material during this activity, realize that learners can also use wikis and blogs quite
effectively to support their learning.
- View example templates, forms, and documents.
- Consider which templates, forms, or other documents you might use in your project to support learning.
 Classroom Tip: Use evidence from the self-direction assessment to create or modify a document to support learning.
- Math literacy improves analytical and logical thinking, which can be used across the curriculum. Consider ways you can use math in your project to improve your learners’ thinking skills. Resources for integrating math are located in Math Strategies and Math Examples.
Note any ideas that you may want to incorporate into your learner support material.
